This particular machine does not have VMware.
Also I have eliminated the option of a machine issue as I tested this on 4 different machines so far with the same exact results.
The solution is on of the three following options:
-
Access the VMware instance disk and plant the plugins folder within it.
-
Using the ruby console remap the plugins folder location out of the instance (assuming that as is normal with VM instances my local machine is recognized as a network computer) to a local shared network folder.
-
Someone pours genius into this thread lol
Does anyone else here have SketchUp 8 Pro and not have the "Power by VMware" taglines?
